"Scots wha hae wi' Wallace bled,
Scots wham Bruce has aften led,
Welcome to your gory bed
Or to Victorie.

Now's the day, and now's the hour;
See the front o' battle lour!
See approach proud Edward's power -
Chains and slaverie!"

Ahhhh, Huggy, on this day of all days, ye should be quoting Robert Burns. 'Tis his birthday today, the year being 1759, and we Scots remember him with awe, a man of fine words, a man who enjoyed life to the fullest, who revered the female wiles, romance and good Scotch (bad Scotch, too!!). So, read my favorite Burns' poem today...Tam O'Shanter... and enjoy life!! ("Weel done, Cutty Sark!")

"My heart's in the Highlands, my heart is not here,
My heart's in the Highlands a-chasing the deer;
A-Chasing the wild deer; and following the roe,
My heart's in the Highlands wherever I go."

Slante' mhath! pax Aye!
